Mirage-lab

Completely demolish structures using various explosives.

It’s for people that like action involving devastation as well as problem solvers.

$0.99 $0.99
Why we picked this?

You get to destroy skeletal structures using a collection of explosives. However, requirements and restrictions exist. Each scenario includes a limited quantity and type of explosive materials, e.g., dynamite and gun powder. You’re allowed to progress when successfully demolishing a minimum percentage of the structure, but receive the most rewards and therein ratifications when the least rubble remains.

If you miss physics-based puzzlers with multiple elements, such as Angry Birds, this should reignite that addiction. It’s complete with level rankings, leaderboard, and achievements.

If you want charm or need assistance, look elsewhere. There are no tips beyond the initial item explanations, nor characters or backstory.
